Sinopsis

In "The Murder on the Links," Agatha Christie artfully weaves a tapestry of suspense and intrigue set against the backdrop of a French golf course. The narrative flourishes with Christie's signature blend of clever plotting and intricate characterization, presenting the astute detective Hercule Poirot who, upon being summoned to investigate a gruesome murder, is drawn into a web of deception and hidden motives. The novel exemplifies the golden age of detective fiction, showcasing Christie's penchant for misdirection and social commentary, as she deftly navigates the complexities of human relationships intertwined with the sport of the upper class. Agatha Christie, often referred to as the 'Queen of Crime,' drew on her diverse experiences and keen observations of society to craft this enthralling mystery. Raised in a household that respected literature and the arts, Christie's fascination with the psychology of crime was further influenced by her work as a nurse during World War I, where she encountered the profound effects of human suffering and moral ambiguity. These elements coalesce in "The Murder on the Links," where she challenges readers to unravel the enigma alongside Poirot. This novel is highly recommended for both enthusiasts of classic detective narratives and those new to Christie's impressive oeuvre. With its rich atmospheric setting, engaging plot twists, and memorable characters, "The Murder on the Links" promises an intellectually stimulating journey that will keep readers guessing until the very last page.

Bad Neighbours - Cherringham...

Matthew Costello, Neil Richards

When Brian Foley is charged with the murder of his next-door neighbour, the fastidious Arthur Cranham, it seems the case against the blustering showman is cut and dried: prints, DNA, CCTV footage - there can't be any doubt. After all - Brian and Arthur have famously been at war for years. But Jack and Sarah are convinced that the police have it wrong. With time running out, can they prove Brian's innocence and find the real killer?

Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby.

Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid-90s, creating innovative content and working on major projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and the best-selling mystery series Cherringham. Their latest series project is called Mydworth Mysteries.

The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of 'DCI John Barnaby' in 'Midsomer Murders' and 'Jim Riley' in 'The Life of Riley'. He is also known for his film roles in 'The Nativity', 'Sorted' and 'Son of Rambow'.
